Bedelia was back at the hills again, this time It was so dark and I can't even glimpse a shadow, the darkness was so threatening. It made her want to take to my heels, the energy here felt so wrong, it was so bad and raw that the thought of being here consume her.
She felt like screaming her lungs out in agony! Why and how did she get here, she could hear beings scribbling in the darkness, and just the thought of it made her cling instantly.
"Hello! Bedelia called out in the dark and hoped that she would be heard. would be heard, She needed to be saved from this agonizing darkness but the only thing she got in response was the hollow echo of her voice.
She needed to leave here, everything here felt so wrong, and just when she took a step forward.
Bedelia heard voices calling to her, It felt like they were reaching out...to take control but for some reason, they still can't get close.
"Your mother did a great deal in hiding you for so many years, young one! The voice penetrated her head making her moan loudly in pain, what was happening?
Bedelia felt its strong presence but saw no one.
"And here I was all these years I thought you were dead!! she felt another jabbing pain this time at her skull and back.
"Who are you? she yelled into the darkness while trying to pull herself from its consuming presence.
"What are you doing to me? She tried to endure the pain but it was unbearable.
"What I should have done a long time! Its penetrating voice pierced its way through her head and Bedelia could only let out a scream.
"Jace, woke by Bedelia's painful scream and since she was laying next to him, he reached out to soothe her, she was probably having a bad dream but only to find her burning.
"Elia! he called out in fear, and scrabble suddenly bathroom to grab a bowl and towel when he return Elia was grabbing the sheets and crying out in her sleep.
"Hey, I'm here, no need to cry "He reached out as gently as he could to cradle and soothe her in his arm, which had troubled him this much.
He held her gently and whispered comforting words to her while wiping her body down to reduce her body temperature, she looks so pale and he couldn't help being worried
"Elia, what did dream of? he reached out to tug the strand of hair behind her tears then watched her sleep peacefully afterward.
He was greeted by an empty bed when he woke up the next morning, where had she gone to? it was unlike her to be awake by this time of the morning, he got out of bed only to see her sitting by the window.
"You never get up by this time, especially doing school period"
"What did you think happened at the hill yesterday? She asked focusing her gaze outside his window.
"I don't know Elia but I think there must be a reason why that place is out of bounds," He said while coming to stand next to her.
"I guess so too...
"Was your dream connected to that hill? Jace asked and judging the way he turned to stare at him, it was clear she didn't have any idea what happened to her last night.
"You called out to me last night, Elia and when I reached out to you, you were already burning so I had to try my best to get your body temperature back to normal"
"Thanks," she said after some seconds, he would have loved to hear about her dream but wouldn't want to make her talk about something that had caused her this much pain.
"It's fine, we need to prepare to leave for school this is our last month, remember? we don't want anything to ruin it for us, Elia.
"I think we need to go back there" "No and why? he couldn't afford to take her back there again after what happened the first time.
"I need to find out what happened to me there and why I had this terrible dream about this same place last night! my back still burns and my skin still itches so badly...
"And this is a clear reason to stay away! Jace finishes off for her "After this last encounter, you shouldn't be near those hills!
"I need to find out the reason why I had such a crazy encounter and bad dream and why Getty flipped out on us because we went there, she hiding something that we don't know"
"The only reason she flipped off on us is that that area was out of bounds" "Why?!!
He couldn't allow her to go, not after yesterday and last night
"Promise me won't go Elia...he reached out to hold her face in his palm "Promise me..." Of course, he knows that she would hate him for pushing her this far but he can't just allow her to put her life in danger "I promise...
